Bio Challenge

The aim of the game is to collect four parts of an amulet found by
killing the guardians that inhabit the floor. You kill them by
jumping on the slabs above them and somersaulting. You can tell how
many somersaults are needed by how many lines each block has. Once
the slab has run out of lines it falls, hopely on top of the enemy.
The small flying creatures are killed by spinning into them.
The cauldrons you find are different colours and do different things.
These are as follows:-

YELLOW : Time bonus of an extra minute
BROWN : Bonus of 5000 points
BLUE : Extra Life
GREY : Expands the capacity of the reserve
tank to 32 units
GREEN : Increases power of armour. When armour
flashes green and you somersault your
enemies are destroyed.
RED : Increases power of armour. When the
small flying creatures come near, spin
and they will rebound off your armour
and possibly kill one of the guardians
